FoxP2 gene
turns off leg gene development in bugs
Ubx gene
Hox gene
gene that causes body parts to be expressed in different locations
evolutionary history of a species or a group of related species

species evolve that are not geographically isolated (happens after gene flow is reduced)
sympatric speciation
area where species meet and reproduce (ex: where the crossing over occurs)
hybrid zone
scientific field for ordered division and naming of organisms
taxonomy
two part naming system for scientific names of species
binomial nomenclature
unit in taxonomy hierarchy
taxon
branching diagrams
phylogenetic trees
Two or more species reproduce at different times
Temporal isolation
